Emirates clinched awards for Best Wi-Fi and Best Food & Beverage in the Middle East at the APEX 2020 Regional Passenger Choice Awards held in Singapore on Wednesday.

The Best Food & Beverage award recognised Emirates’ regionally inspired cuisine and extensive drinks menu. Each year, more than 110 million meals are served on board Emirates' restaurant in the sky with the same attention to detail in First, Business and Economy Class.

Emirates runs a round-the-clock kitchen with 1,800 chefs based in Dubai whipping up 12,450 recipes. The airline’s chefs focus on simple, well cooked dishes that emphasise fresh ingredients of the highest quality. Emirates brings the finest products on board through long standing partnerships worldwide, and supporting local suppliers and artisans.

To complement the culinary experience onboard, Emirates pays special attention to its drinks menu boasting world class champagne, wines and spirits. The beverages on each route are carefully selected to complement the menu and include exclusives found only on Emirates.

Emirates has started an upgrade programme to retrofit faster Wi-Fi onto its older A380 aircraft as part of its continued investment in product to enhance the onboard experience. 55 aircraft will be fitted with faster broadband in the next 2 years.
